Hopper Master Copy Workshop: The Lee Shore (1928)
April 25 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Event Navigation
Join the Dayton Society of Artists for a master copy workshop focused on The Lee Shore by Edward Hopper. This session will explore Hopper’s use of composition, light, and atmosphere through a guided painting exercise, along with historical insights into the artist and the context surrounding the work.
Painted in 1928, The Lee Shore reflects Hopper’s ability to convey mood and psychological depth through restraint and simplicity. Participants will work from a reproduction of the painting while analyzing its structure, value relationships, and use of color to better understand how Hopper constructed meaning within the scene. Historical tidbits will be shared throughout the workshop, led by Dayton Society of Artists Historian, Kathleen Caffrey.
PLEASE BRING SKETCHBOOK AND PREFERRED MEDIUM. LIMITED SUPPLIES ARE AVAILABLE.
